 I would say lack of corrective effort at times. More so when the guide does not appear that no one is ready at times to take on the responsibility of go and make those little ones to cross. That’s number one. Then there is economic issue; more so of the provision of those road signs. Let us talk about the zebra crossing. Yes VIVO came,  may be did it but it has faded and in fact there is no vote which is there for the school to make sure we repaint or should I say a challenge  and when as it fades away, the motorists  they may think maybe  they gave up on this project yet it is still standing.

 Now like, they are times like. Let's look at it this season. It is raining. Nature. A child would have to go to school. Whereby, gets the school guide has not also reached them because of the rain. The person escorting the child also fears, says” you go, it is, you go you go.” They are covering themselves with the jackets and umbrellas they can't even hear. Now we can’t do anything, we can’t do much about that, on weather.

Because these trainings because of mostly let me say some of the gadgets because sometimes I don’t stay in the school I stay very far so I have to walk. So sometimes when it is raining it is difficult for you to walk in the rain and I have to be here before them. So walking at night is a challenge that I don’t know how they are going to address it but the reflector jacket if you put them on at night, it is easy to walk but the biggest challenge is the rain. Yes.

So they came twice a year, they came in the first term and second term. They could educate the children like this traffic gentleman educate the children most especially in the area of using the road. And then this lady was talking of the issue of how children should behave at home and also when they are being punished where to put and the channels. so they came once, one year sorry, they came twice in that year but now these days we no longer see them.

So, they should be sensitized on how to…., actually, even the children themselves should be sensitized on assemblies. You tell them, “As the warden is going to cross, don’t cross unless the warden has done this and this. He has to tell you.” Some children are very stubborn am telling you. They don’t listen. But the more you talk, the more you talk, because we parents know our children. They’re very stubborn. You tell him, “Don’t do this.” He does it. He does the opposite. But the more you talk, the more you talk repeatedly, at least he gets something in his head. And, he will do the right thing. So, the children themselves should be sensitized, plus the wardens.

Me I think, these flagmen should sensitize all…, should sensitize all the children. All the children should be sensitized at home, I mean at school, that “When the flagman puts up the flag, don’t simply cross. You first wait, let the flagman put up the flag, then the vehicles stop from both sides,” then you allow them to what? To cross. Not merely putting up the flag and then they do what? They cross. So, I think there’s need to sensitize the children. From school by the flagmen, and even from home.

Even if a song, these kids they learn. They get to understand. But for us we say “Ah…, Margaret knows how to cross. I told her, even the other time, I caned her.” We keep on. Let us not forget. And even at school, they inform them how to use a road. Even us, we…. But we say; “Right to play. Right to move.” How? To move on the road. How? It is we to make sure we impose that to them; that “The road should be respected plus other road users. Should they tell me that you’re playing

for me what I emphasize, in addition to all other measures, let us talk to the children. Let us sensitize the children. Let us parents talk to the children. Show them that once you get an accident, if your hand is cut off, that is all. No spare parts for life. So, if we keep sensitizing the children like that, I think they will get that fear. When they’re going to cross the road, they will know that I have to be careful. And let us talk to them that “Never cross the road alone” if there’s someone with a flag, you go near that person, whether he’s from your school or another school.

May be what I can add on that policy like late coming. The child they have told them that at around at 7 sharp, you must be in class. So may be the child has some problems at home, you know about the family background you know but when he is coming the moment he has seen the time is rushing. So he doesn’t mind about when he is going to cross the road. Coz for him or for her in the mind, you need to catch up the time of the class. So he doesn’t mind of that time crossing the road, just rush, running on the road so that he catch up the time of class. Coz remember when even on the door way , there is there on the gate there is a what a teacher on duty who is going am going to  beat you people when you come back late

 In most cases these children are at times, even like the colleague just said that at times they, they fail, they neglect what they have been taught some of them. But also children at times they rush, some of them came from home at late hours, some children stay with with step parents; some others stay with people who are just giving them a hand of help and at times they give them some work even the morning hours they be busy. So the child leaves home late and the child is trying to rush such that they arrive at school in time and due to that rushing, the child at times crosses the road minus following what is supposed to be done before crossing due to that kind of rushing, is because he is trying to see that he may keep time. And at school, some of the teachers, you find some of them who are a bit somehow harsh. So at times the way they talk to the learners, it scares them. So the child says I must come in time or   some other teacher says when I enter the class before you, please you first stay out. So the child will always and rush and say that aah let me run, from home a child is rushing.

According to my understanding, children, when they’re going to school, even if they’re not playing along the road; during the process of crossing the road, they find difficulties in crossing due to over speeding. And when the child realizes that he or she is late, and the vehicles are just moving - this one comes from this side, this one also comes from the other side, the child is also fearing that at school, when he reaches late, they’ll beat me – he or she closes the eyes and crosses the road because of over speeding. And…, they always happen where they’re no traffic lights.

It is right, what my sister has said. Even another risk is; always we parents, we tend to tell these kids, when they’re dressing up, they’re taking tea early morning to go to school, “Hurry up, hurry up. Time is over. What are you doing? Wake up. What are you looking for?” So, you find that there’s that force; “Go to school, you’ll reach late.” So, she tends to have that.

It can be from both home and school. Because when children reach school late, they’re punished. And…, they might reach home late, and again you the parent, you punish. Eh? “From this time to this time where have you been?” You don’t even leave the child to explain that vehicles were…, that there was traffic. Eh? There was traffic jam, I couldn’t manage to cross very fast. You can’t listen. You just get canes and start punishing the child. “You should always hurry from school to home” Eh? At school, teachers are there, you have found the teacher in a lesson. A child is punished. She can be punished twice because you as a parent, you have not listened to the child. In the morning she was punished, in the evening you have punished the child, so, the next day, the child might get an accident, hurrying not to get the same canes of yesterday. So, it can be from both. For me I think like that.

I also wanted to talk about time management. Time! Minding about time can be a problem even with we old people, when you’re hurrying that time time time as this man was commenting, but you mind about time, “Eh am late, am late.” So, time can cause problems. Because we parents, we mind about time “Am going to Owino market, I will find this when it’s over. I will find ah…” you leave the children at home. They sleep they oversleep, waking up eh…, they see the sun. “I am finished” The child even goes to school without washing the face, hurrying because of time. So, parents also should look at that, ah…, with their children. To keep time is important. If you know that the children are going at exactly seven, let them move at that very time and they move slowly, they don’t panic. By 7:30 they’re at school. But when it is 7:30 from home, they parade at maybe 7:45, ah…, they’re now late.

I could, I could go so far away as to say some school polices may put the children at risk. I don't know if it still happens, but they used to punish severely late coming. And so if you are a young child and you see you're late and you know that the punishment awaiting you is so hectic, they won't even listen to your reason for being late because some children are delayed by different circumstances. But the school policy sometimes are that,they're not even going to listen to you, they're just going to punish and someone, so as a child, you come from home, but you know that they are going to punish me and heavily. So the way you would use the road will be near rush. And you may not care about the vehicles and all. Because you're thinking of, what is going to happen to you. So, the the rush is that is created by school policies to make children so…in a hurry to get to school, sometimes puts them at risk.

Because if you put a crossing point here, you must also put the signage. And the signage must conform to the standard; that you warn the driver in advance before he reaches that crossing point. So, the designers have to see whether it is safe at that speed when the driver is driving will be able to brake and cross. They’ll even advise you and say that a crossing point will not be possible here; it is in a corner. So, it cannot be what? It cannot be possible, then, they advise you on the appropriate intervention that you can put.

Meaning that they will not focus, they will not see, focus on where they are going they will not mind whether the car is coming, whether the vehicle hmm the motorcycle is coming, so for them, they they their minds goes there, the other side coz they want to know and at the time you find that somebody has knocked them because they are absent minded; their minds are somewhere else.

Like she said, somewhere that as they are going or coming, there is a lot of things running into their mind and they are doing a lot of research in the process when they see two three people. Now for instance if it was, now  a period of campaigns you could hear them talking about campaigns , if it was a period may be of football, you hear them talking about football,. When they see two three people talking about something, it’s like they are going to relax back and forget that time is moving. So in the process of realizing that time has moved a bit, you will find them now crossing the way they want.

 In a way, our children wanting to know what is there what is here eh? And playing on the road. All the time they’re thinking…, they’re not even bothered about the time to reach school. So, in that process, like for example mine, when they come, they have been coming with that pioneer bus up to city square. Then from city square, they have to foot up to Buganda Road. So, in that process, crossing those small small roads joining the main roads as they’re coming, they reach somewhere, there’s some TV in some shop…, am not saying this because mine I got them doing it, but I know, children can do it. And 3) there’s a boy I know who does it, who can do it, stops and watches, the friends get tired and leave him. They continue he’s still watching…. To cross, he doesn’t mind that I have to stop and see this way, so…, in that process

some parents are part of the risk formation. Why? We have this saying that children rights…. In some homes, when it comes to children’s rights, they don’t care where, how and when the child, his child is going to exercise the rights. For example, the right to play. The right to play, this thing am telling you, we parents, we have to advance our thinking about it. My child is going to school, am not the one taking him or her. Now this right of playing; throwing the balls, like she said. It’s true. And we move on the road. We see them running after the other, crossing to the other side, but if your child, you emphasize and you always be on it as a point, that “You’re not supposed…, playing stops at home here, in this compound. The moment you reach the road, respect the road.”  You find that the girl just looks at the TV. You see…, these urban areas, you find changes. People are developing from day to day. You find they’re just looking at the TV on the roadside, in one of the shops…. After looking at the TV, their understanding is already drawn off – that now, we’re supposed to think of the roads. They’re just saying “Come and we go come and we go.” After seeing the film or what…, they just start moving, running, because time has caught them. Playing illegally. That right of playing! We have to emphasize to our children that when it comes to playing, leave the road alone.

Don’t say “First pass there, you pay what we didn’t pay yesterday.” No. Go to school, go to school. It is we. Now, I’ve assigned her something else, she’s now going to think of that. “Eh. This money, I have to pay here before I go to school.” Now, you find that she doesn’t concentrate on using the road. We’re part of the risks sometimes.

And for me am forced to first make my children cross to go to school in the morning. Because that road is very busy and it is slopy. The cars come from one side and others from the other side. There’s no island in between where children can cross from one side. Like as you see that road, some cars might be coming from that side and others going up. So, a child would get confused in between there. Eh, you find a child even going back where she has been coming from. So, it wastes even some parent’s time. You wait for a child to first go to school, again, to go and pick the child from school, because you want the child to be safe.

In the first case, roads should have their own. Main cars should have their own names. Passengers should have their own names, even if am, all of the sudden find myself driving in a passenger plane, then that's trouble. And I think that would be a good case for insurance companies. But we don't have that. And we have this whole of kampala and our roads and we are saying, “oh, drive when you are cognizant of children and what and what particular situation is.

 It is actually true that our roads also, our infrastructure itself does not, does not so much protect the road users, especially pedestrians and the school going children are pedestrians. So if you consider, for example, the school zones, would expect maybe some speed calming measures or some road signs that are strict or find a way, put pedestrian crossings and find a way to ensure that the road itself protects the children, maybe put those traffic signs that help the children to cross and we'll stop cars. We don't have that in our country. So our roads keep the same. If the school is on the highway, the highway will stay the same and it shouldn't look the same. Our roads should be able to help us, to save us from, to protect us from possible crashes. But in our current form, unfortunately, they are not. Even the few pedestrian crossings or pedestrian walkways that we have, you know, are within the city and few schools that within here here in the CBD. Outside, we don't have pedestrian walkways. The, the, the children will have to walk or other pedestrians will have to walk together with the other road, the other road users including boda-bodas and bicycles and and cars. So our infrastructure is not yet there.

I can carry them to the side as you wait on you can call the police patrol and they come.

And with time, and if funds that allow, we want to do things like road safety clubs, um, road safety champions in schools, road safety debates, things like that for children. So we're still looking for funds for that. For now, we're just going to do our, our old-school sensitizations.

So many. So many accidents have happened because of that. So I don’t know whether it is also about carelessness really, but driving while communicating. At the end you get somebody getting being told that maybe you are communicating and then they tell you may be somebody, maybe your child has got this, may be your mother has passed on, somebody just get a sudden accident because of that.

it helped me a lot because where I used to ride from at times I would get an accident that I would have avoided. It helped me to learn and know that if I see a car that has halted or anything that has halted I need to also reduce on the speed and first see why has this one halted what is ahead of me? So when I see that there is nothing, sometimes they could halt when it is their car that is faulty. So I also go slowly and I see that there no problem then I proceed, if there is a person that is crossing then I also halt. Then at times they may halt when there is a car that is turning to enter into the road, so that one also saves if at all I get to know why they put the car on a halt. So I also halt and I’m saved from the car that is entering the road not to knock me down and get an accident or even get a broken leg. But when I have put a lot of common sense when I’m on the road riding it also saves me from getting problems. And it also saves the other pedestrian who may be crossing from getting an accident.

Then, he, together with the class teacher, teaches them when they’re seeing the road like this and seeing how people are using the road. So, the traffic officer tells the kids that, “Have you seen the other gentleman the way he’s moving, that one is prohibited.” “Have you seen the way that one has crossed? Have you seen?” Practically. They say “Yes we have seen, he has crossed….” Ahaa! “Never do that.” Some schools tend to do programs of such a nature. When they’re seeing. You see these kids, they see, they say “We say the man moving, when he reached the middle of the road he started talking”

That where there is a zebra crossing you are required to stop in case there is a person crossing, yes they taught us the road sign posts and what they mean, if at all a car driver is ahead of you and halts, even though you have not seen why he has halted you need to think of why he has what halted for, then you also reduce the speed and you go slowly to see why. You stop and see why he has halted. Sometimes there could be a lame person so he decides to halt then if you don’t use common sense you just ride ahead you may knock the person.

So the only way out is out to the public and then ask for anything they need in their life. And two, the our catchment area is slums; so the behavior in slums is not the same as Kololo, Nakasero.  So those are the children today we are having. So anything which come from their homes they see by their naked eyes, see from their parents, some of them see from their own parents.  What they do is what they bring also at school. As they bring, they come to the peers, the peers there are waiting to see what today, what have you brought; everyday they come with a new innovation to their mind from different directions.

Most schools, parents have not been able to provide some little lunch so they are hungry and therefore they can’t have that mind you know that, they can’t focus, they can’t, and they can’t cross well. You know when you are hungry you know what happens. Others are dizzy, by the time they reach the middle of the road, you know they collapse and of course they are knocked.

Maybe she was not given food, maybe she’s staying with a person like a step mother – if the step mother is not good, because some step mothers are good. But someone might not be good. So, the child is thinking of what will happen. Now she’s from school. They’ve told them to go back home. As she’s going home, or he’s going home, he’s thinking “Now am going home, what am I going to find there? Again, am going to meet that woman or that man.” So, that thinking might even…. He might find himself entering the road. Not even remembering that “Am entering the road.” Just because he’s absent minded from the torture or the mistreatment.

You find that the motorcyclist has passed this way up and driving at a high speed with carelessness then in the end they knock down the pedestrian. Because a pedestrian may walk thinking that they are in their walk way, I’m doing the right thing not expecting a motorcyclist or a car that is going to force its way to pass there only for them to break through and knock them from there.

For example, we are in Natete, but a child is going to Kampala Parents. First of all, children like those ones in upper classes, P6, P7. They will stay maybe up to 6. By the time that child comes this way, is putting on a dark dress and other dress that at night even, is not, she is not visible at night. We are risking the lives of our children. By the time that child reaches there, it is already too late. By the time the child reaches back home here, It is already late. Then look at the risk this child is going through. From the vehicle for Natete, going to the other Park, crossing to the other park, to crossing again the roads. Remember, they already eaten the money that would be for transport. You know, let's change. Let's put our children. Let's trust our teachers in those nearby schools.

Because, because they are rushing to w…, to school, they go very early in the morning and sometimes leave late. So early in the morning, visibility may be less on the road. So hence, exposing them to risk. But also they spend longer time on the road, walking, crossing, going to school and all, so the longer you're exposed, we know is, the greater the risk that you have for, for these road crashes.

So, the driver might not notice whether there’s a bend, whether there’s a school ahead, so, it might also be a problem to our pupils crossing the road.

But if at all those who are responsible whether KCCA is responsible to paint that zebra crossing basically when they care to move around the city and see that the zebra crossings for such and such places have faded away and they need fresh painting such that they know that there is a zebra crossing here. But there are times when they fade and they take long without painting them back. So when a person is driving because they faded they cannot know that it is where they are.

I can carry them to the side as you wait on you can call the police patrol and they come. But then also the other thing we would have done is in case a person gets an accident we can take them to the hospital. Or help them but when you reach a time to help them it becomes a crime.

So you find that the children they will first wait for the cook to first finish cooking then cross the road. And the children some of them they just go if they are escaping,  the person has not come, they just cross. Instead of a school to employ a lollipop who is trained on how to cross the children, they just use the askari, the cook, every person who is around, can cross the children; who doesn’t know. Even last, I think last year, I found a person at St. Joseph Nsambya; there is a zebra crossing there. But the person who was standing there crossing  children, he don’t know anything, he just raises the flag before the vehicles stop, he calls the children that cross and accidents can occur.

Then, one I had forgotten is about the incompetent wardens that we have in our schools where we take our children. You leave your child with a warden; the schools have their wardens – their school wardens, you proceed to your work place but then, there’s a way they’re reluctant most times. They cross a bunch, then they stay on the other side and they’re commanding others to come, which is too risky. As he said, we don’t have lighting on the roads and our crossing areas are mostly dark during these rush hours. So, this person crosses a group, calls others to come, yet he’s supposed to first cross back and come with them. And there’s no supervision at that time.

So, we wait for the annual traffic report from police. And, even the police, only record what they been given or what they go and witness. Most of these actually school going children, are involved in hit and runs. And I’m saying around this, the towns. I mean for schools on the highway. Outside the cities. Outside the town centers. Most of the accidents there are hit and run. When it’s a hit and run, police will may probably record it But then in some areas, they'll pick the child and just go and bury. Or go and treat.

That is one of the issues I had highlighted; what we call inappropriate driving experience. There’s a lot of inappropriate driving experience in Kampala. It is even made worse by what we call male young drivers. In quotes now, I can use the “Subaru drivers.” I hope you have seen, even on several occasions how those Subaru…, these are very reckless,

 It’s just that they didn’t go for a driving school. They just come in saying, “If I teach him how to drive, the next day he’s going to drive.” Not knowing what the signposts mean. Had they gone to a driving school; they would be knowing. But they don’t know at all. After the person trains him to drive, the next day he sits on the chair to drive. That’s also a problem.

These people…like the brother has said, some are excited, some are caught up by time, a lot of things. Some are drunk, but the vehicle is old. Who is driving it? The experience. Who is driving it?

So in terms of the vehicle design for school buses, may…I would say that. But also there is a special curriculum for the school drivers, bus drivers. School bus drivers, there's supposed to be of a certain curriculum. Which I think as a country, we don't have. How to drive along with the children because, as you know, you tell a child to stay seated. Yeah, but to their children. So, 30 minutes into the game, they start, you know, running around. So it is that curriculum. So, I wonder if the drivers have been trained in this curriculum? I would say no, because I haven't seen and I think I should have heard of it at least.

what I would I add is probably driver driver skilling  and driver training because a lot of there is a lack of awareness of what the role of  what does it mean to drive for anyone and what are the responsibilities that they do as a driver? Is it just going on the road with the vehicle and just speeding through the road? Or do I have responsibilities hmm for the road that am using with others? And I believe that a Significant number of drivers in Uganda who don’t appreciate that on how people learn how to drive, to the quality of training that we provide as the country. So yeah that’s another thought I had.

Hmm  yeah am sure you know what that means ,so I don’t have to trace that more. And then there are infrastructural failures as well.

no, not everyone with a permit has learnt, take it from me that some drivers of course we know some of them, you know that he has a permit but the actual fact he doesn’t know how to drive, not any one who gets a permit knows how to drive, no.  What you should know is that, even us we know some of them, whereby you can tell someone like here that you ignite the engine of that vehicle and drive in reverse, then he will have to turn behind yet the vehicle is driven using a side mirror.  There is this one, this one, this one, it is these mirrors which assist you in that you can drive in reverse when you are like this, without looking behind.  But there’re certain drivers we know, if you asked them to drive that vehicle in reverse he has to turn like this first, yet the right thing should be even when you go to Naguru to teach you how to drive you should know how to use these mirrors, you get it, but the drivers not all of them know how to drive.

The road safety lead agency needs to coordinate all road safety activities in Uganda. They seem to have a lot of work that they doing and not prioritizing road safety. MoWT are involved in many activities e.g. construction of bridges, engineering, infrastructure and transport. The ministerial meeting in 2010 gave the MoWT the mandate as the lead agency for road safety and coordinate all road safety activities. The barrier is that the government thinks that authorities consume a lot of resources and this is wasteful. The budget of the UNRSC was inadequate to coordinate all road safety activities. The UNRSC was active during road safety week and yet they are supposed to work all year on road safety activities.

For instance a driver can tell you that, say; ‘’I don’t lose anything when am involved in a road traffic crash’, he tells you that, ‘to me a road traffic crash is something usual/common’ and he says that, ‘I don’t lose anything when I crash’’, but he forgets that the person he is going to knock at one time he has a family, he may not be affected as an individual but the family will be affected.  I usually see such incidences on the road along which I drive like in Luzira yet there is leadership.

When you talk of traffic lights, these kids see only when they have gone to the roads. In fact last, this very covid time a child was telling me; teacher, I have never seen a zebra crossing. Then I told him, “but have you ever walked around Nakawa?” He said, “No”. A child is in primary four. So it means however much I will tell a child a zebra crossing but has never seen it and even when he is being taught in class, the teachers have never showed it anywhere.

Assemblies I think they are very minimal in schools. Yes in a week it may be once. During our time, in a week it may be once and the curriculum by the way is very you know very tight that it has a lot of you know content to teach the children and therefore you rush to do the teaching more than the sensitization.

It is really very paramount that those ones who accompany children must ensure you make the children cross. You the adult and then you come back. Than just being side and said, then you tell them to go. And also there are some scenarios and this happens more so to ladies, when they are moving with the children, you see moving with the children this side which is safer. I don’t know whether you people have observed it. You find a mama is moving with a child in a very dangerous spot.

It would have been good for parents to spare some little time and train the older children to walk slowly up to school. You cannot say that you’ll take your children to school every day. It is impossible. And so, I support that if you train an elder child, to reach school, then they can keep taking themselves. I don’t see a problem with it.

When you look at the children more so the first term, this is when it held. let's talk from child of P1. this child maybe is the from a certain School in our local areas broadly to Kampala. Or any other town or any other capital city like today. this child has never crossed where they are vehicles moving, motorcycles moving, but he has brought been brought to a heavier traffic, and, at the beginning, they’re entrusting a housekeeper, housemaid, house assistant to escort this child to school. The same this assistant of the house has never crossed. Maybe also from is from the village. Now he's coming to, she's coming to cross the child along Kampala road. Any other road. Heavily used with other vehicles. so, you get the child tries to cross, but sees a vehicle when he reaches in the middle of the road, it means, he has either to go back, or to run to cross. Likewise, the house keeper will stand on the pavement on the road side and tell the child, “cross, I am seeing there”. Now this child, the vehicle gets them in the middle of the road or the motorcycle. This would be the end of the child. So this children are really at a danger

Where the child can’t see the oncoming vehicles from either sides. So, really they are at a risk of crossing the these roads more so at the beginning of the time. And at times we entrust these other so-called big children like from P3. when you look at a child of P3, this child is also let's say eight years. Sincerely  eight years can't be a guide to a child of six years or five years, but we entrusted them with our children in the end both either crashed, or one of them is crashed.

I think that there is also the case of  busy schedules, people who are much busy I think jobs are demanding a lot more and parents  who are commuting from far distances, hmm except for those who are in privilege positions where they can afford vehicles and they can drop off their kids, those that have to board taxis , where parents who have to leave home at 5am. I see a huge number in the city center where the children actually are more at risk, so there is that, there is work schedules  and I think in some case there is also  hmm  parents just choosing to delegate the responsibility of  parenting to their own children .

parents should escort their children to school so that we guide them together as they cross the road but one is with her/his child. That is the most crucial because out of about 4,000 children only 400 are escorted to school.

 It is actually true that our roads also, our infrastructure itself does not, does not so much protect the road users, especially pedestrians and the school going children are pedestrians. So if you consider, for example, the school zones, would expect maybe some speed calming measures or some road signs that are strict or find a way, put pedestrian crossings and find a way to ensure that the road itself protects the children, maybe put those traffic signs that help the children to cross and we'll stop cars. We don't have that in our country. So our roads keep the same. If the school is on the highway, the highway will stay the same and it shouldn't look the same. Our roads should be able to help us, to save us from, to protect us from possible crashes. But in our current form, unfortunately, they are not. Even the few pedestrian crossings or pedestrian walkways that we have, you know, are within the city and few schools that within here here in the CBD. Outside, we don't have pedestrian walkways.

there is lack of specific crossing spots, crossing spots near our schools as my colleagues have said call them zebra crossing. But those crossing spots to be very near near schools coz that’s the time children are rushing as the colleagues have said, they’re  rushing their mind is already home and within that, there is that congestion in the brain and within that time they are knocked.  In our case at school there are always near near near school.

And for me am forced to first make my children cross to go to school in the morning. Because that road is very busy and it is slopy. The cars come from one side and others from the other side. There’s no island in between where children can cross from one side. Like as you see that road, some cars might be coming from that side and others going up. So, a child would get confused in between there. Eh, you find a child even going back where she has been coming from. So, it wastes even some parent’s time. You wait for a child to first go to school, again, to go and pick the child from school, because you want the child to be safe.

There’s another thing about types of roads. On some roads, they don’t put there these things that reduce the speed. You find like where my child studies, there’s a road branching to the school. There’s another road. So, the child is confused either to cross … there’s nothing that makes the car to reduce when coming …. Then some roads are very narrow. Boda bodas are using, the children are using very very narrow roads to and the children have to squeeze and then cross to the other side

The establishment of the roads    and how much considerations given to the children, that will be crossing these is not as well it should be. In most cases they are no facilities for children to cross crossing. In most cases, areas where schools are located in infrastructural development, they are still allowed allows for speeding vehicle. So you have hmm which road, Sir Apollo Kaggwa road for example the one on Bombo road is technically that’s  the road where vehicles  can speed over 60km/hr. That should not happen where there is school facility for example, because again, am sure you know the statistics if you hit the child at the the speed high than 30 its speed higher than 30,,chances are much like that  it’s difficult to break if a crush happens, chances are much higher  that the child is going to lose  their life. So we definitely have failed in number of areas when it comes to doing child pedestrian considerate in terms of  infrastructure development.

 It is actually true that our roads also, our infrastructure itself does not, does not so much protect the road users, especially pedestrians and the school going children are pedestrians. So if you consider, for example, the school zones, would expect maybe some speed calming measures or some road signs that are strict or find a way, put pedestrian crossings and find a way to ensure that the road itself protects the children, maybe put those traffic signs that help the children to cross and we'll stop cars. We don't have that in our country. So our roads keep the same. If the school is on the highway, the highway will stay the same and it shouldn't look the same. Our roads should be able to help us, to save us from, to protect us from possible crashes. But in our current form, unfortunately, they are not. Even the few pedestrian crossings or pedestrian walkways that we have, you know, are within the city and few schools that within here here in the CBD. Outside, we don't have pedestrian walkways. The, the, the children will have to walk or other pedestrians will have to walk together with the other road, the other road users including boda-bodas and bicycles and and cars. So our infrastructure is not yet there.

Meaning that if, it would be better if the school provides , puts more people to guide those children, of example they put one this side, they put another one up, another one this side. Because all those routes they are used by children. Remember the one is guiding the other one; they are some who are crossing from this side.

You leave your child with a warden; the schools have their wardens – their school wardens, you proceed to your work place but then, there’s a way they’re reluctant most times. They cross a bunch, then they stay on the other side and they’re commanding others to come, which is too risky. As he said, we don’t have lighting on the roads and our crossing areas are mostly dark during these rush hours. So, this person crosses a group, calls others to come, yet he’s supposed to first cross back and come with them. And there’s no supervision at that time.

They’re others who come running, yet he has already crossed and they find themselves being knocked by the cars. Since the warden has not told them that “You stop there and wait for me.” So, as they’re crossing, for him he’s taking this group, another one is saying “eh…. You’re leaving me …. you’re leaving me.” He’s crossing this group and this child will accidentally fall into a car.

The legislation is failing us and there are different factors to that affordability and they like. But let’s have the law and then we can come back to enabling people to adopt to the law. I think we can’t compromise on road safety. I think when you talk of legislation, it goes beyond formulating  the law to the responsibility of legislators for a nation.

So our lack of laws targeting pedestrian specifically, uh, put us at a risk. We have general laws of, you should drive like this, drive like, that drive like that. We have a law that you should stop at a pedestrian. We have it. But what about where it's no pedestrian crossing, but it's a school zone. Our our our laws just say, “built up areas, 50 kilometres per hour. None built up areas, 80 kilometres.” You could go to a hundred.

When it comes to road safety, it's not yet at that priority level because politically or otherwise, it's not yet up there. Once we have the political will and the determination by the highest political level to ensure road safety in the country, they know work will be easy.

I thought the gentleman was dead but reaching nearby these ones are still struggling to come, this one has stopped wanting to rescue this one. But you find that the narrowness of the road today in Kampala let me say the roads are narrow in most cases.

There’s another road. So, the child is confused either to cross … there’s nothing that makes the car to reduce when coming …. Then some roads are very narrow.

This is one way and the other one is one way, so they usually bring jam that a person drives the way they want. They leave their side and drive from the other one’s side. They are also narrow.

Because at the highest political level, we have a champion. Someone saying, this should be done. Once we have political will, even the funding will come. Because our funding comes from government.

 there is fatigue of the children. These children are fatigued. They’re walking long distances, so they come from…, first of all they’re still sleepy. By the time they leave, they’ve not exhausted their sleep. They’re on the road walking. At their age you know…. Then they come to school. At school they pump them and in the evening they have to walk. These children get fatigued also. Even crossing…, the strength of running…, like he was saying, some schools don’t have lunch – the parents don’t want to pay for lunch, they say the headmaster is asking for money. So, this child has stayed on an empty stomach, and is going to walk home in the evening. So, what do you expect as a health person?

Coz these children keep imitating us. Even if at home, there is somebody who will stand up and imitate you as the way you teach, is the way they will do.

Of course, a flagman is needed, and…, this flagman also, we should always…, and what always makes the problem easy, this issue of saying that there’s somebody who has nothing to do. You just pick him and bring. To me I thought, if possible, it should be part of the time table. You see in class, you find sometimes a class has two…, teachers for one subject. Some schools are there. You find that if this one doesn’t come; this one is ready to take on with the subject. So, when they’re making a duty rosta, they should say that “Madam so and so, you will have to go and attend to our children on the road.” Some teachers will do it. Not leaving the flagman alone to help these…, at least on the duty rosta.

When it comes to road safety, it's not yet at that priority level because politically or otherwise, it's not yet up there. Once we have the political will and the determination by the highest political level to ensure road safety in the country, they know work will be easy. The laws that we make, will be enforced to the dot. Whatever we say, if we say you wear a seatbelt, if we say you enforce this speed, it will be enforced.

In the process of turning these cars only that our cars like these taxis they are old, so the older they become the harder they are to control. Or the steering becomes a bit hard, but those cars which are small their steering are too soft that just mere doing like this for it turns instantly and the car is able to leave the road quickly. So, me the taxi driver can fail to bring it back, I may try to turn while facing the pavement or among the children or adults to bring it back by the time I bring it back I will have knocked the people down or the building or anything.

Yes, it also can. At a less extent. I expect that whenever it rains, the weather if it rains, it leads the front of the car at the screen to form dew or fog or name it where you cannot see properly. You get me? 
Also remember that whenever it rains people tend to seal themselves, and raise the car windows even the passengers raise them even the drivers raise them such that they don’t get beaten by the rain. Whenever you who are in the car breathe, remember you release gas that gas goes and covers the front mirror but because of that fog, you will not be able to see properly. So, it will need the driver to reduce the speed. But once he doesn’t reduce the speed and is not careful on the road he will find that they have gone off the road and drive from the sides since you cannot see where you are going. That is where you will find people, other cars, that is where you will find the cyclist.

Yes, they have worked. For example, these traffic officers. They help a lot. Where they’re standing, children cannot get accidents from there. Because they stop the vehicles and they allow children to cross. And they respect children. When children gather near police men or women, they just stop the vehicles to allow them to cross. Me I think in that way. That that measure has helped the children to cross the road safely.

They’re crossing with very many and they must stop the vehicles. When you move down there in Nakivubo, Nsambya, you will find someone there controlling the vehicles. That one of the flagmen is the most important that has helped us now, has helped our children.

So  I think community members have done good jobs in terms of where they are present, they are not everywhere and there is a guy in Bugolobi that I really like, there’s someone in Wandegeya  different spots  around the city.

I think supporting the children to cross the road especially where schools are on high ways or busy roads usually works effectively. The question is longevity hmm because if you have a volunteer doing it, how what was the attraction for them and all that but usually works effectively because at least you know that every child leaving or coming to the school is being supported, and I think giving children children responsibilities as well. So the eldest students where you have primary seven, for example the head prefects being the ones who lead on ensuring that the childrens children cross safely. And then I have the sessions with  yeah the  of children as well to be working .

Where possible, pedestrian crossings are put. But we advise that we have someone to guide and if you've seen them, they hold like red flags or something.

from the start what I do believe is when motorists or cyclists see children coming, for them, their respect is to leave those kids to cross. But what they do, they don’t take that concern, they just know those kids let them do their own and then we also do our. but in actual sense they are the one to stop and leave the kids to cross.

I think this is an issue of lack of patience and people just thinking about themselves. Because they have to look at these children as minors or need to be helped. That goes back to the question you asked, “aaha..Who of the three should stop for the other?”  But you find no child can be found riding a bodaboda, no child can be found driving a car, you get. So people just need to be sensible, just second somebody is done. You can even find that all the jam we have in Kampala, lack of patience has brought this.

You find that most of the accidents to kids especially these school children get accidents at the zebra crossing? Mainly for them they think that is there main part where they should cross the road but you find that drivers themselves don’t mind, if it’s a zebra crossing they think of the kids.

There’s a young boy who remained behind and the teacher did not notice. So, as they crossed the cars, a boda boda came and knocked the boy.

So, yes. So, we know that, Um, if I am to be specific for Uganda. Our driving behavior is not the best. We do not consider other other road users. Well, some people do, but mostly, largely, drivers do not consider others. We expect that the other road users will know that the car is coming and should respect us rather than me the driver saying, “let me be careful and protect someone”. I expect them to see me and wait for me to pass. So that kind of attitude of the driver puts the children at risk because then they will speed. They will not consider this the school zones and even follow the, the guidelines given on the road, like road signs to show that students are crossing so that you reduce your speed or drive safely. Some drivers do not even want to stop at school, school crossing areas. So definitely our attitude as drivers and road users, motorcyclists. I mean, drivers of cars, buses every, every kind of transportation means.

This is not happening to taxis only but I even see that most zebra crossings, most of the drivers are not aware that when you reach at a zebra crossing you should have to stop or reduce speed and then first see the kind of people going to cross. This is not happening to taxis only, this happens mostly to the boda bodas; in that as a motor vehicle driver you can break off  but a boda boda rider comes he just passes and goes.

In a way that some of these kids are not from town they are from villages. Where according to the experience of our schools especially day schools whereby some of these kids are from the village, they don’t know how to use the the roads especially.

Remember, a child is used to the life of a rural area. Now, he or she has come in a new place, a new environment, a new settlement. For us, we just keep aside minus teaching and informing this child.

When you look at the children more so the first term, this is when it held. let's talk from child of P1. this child maybe is the from a certain School in our local areas broadly to Kampala. Or any other town or any other capital city like today. this child has never crossed where they are vehicles moving, motorcycles moving, but he has brought been brought to a heavier traffic, and, at the beginning, they’re entrusting a housekeeper, housemaid, house assistant to escort this child to school. The same this assistant of the house has never crossed. Maybe also from is from the village. Now he's coming to, she's coming to cross the child along Kampala road. Any other road. Heavily used with other vehicles. so, you get the child tries to cross, but sees a vehicle when he reaches in the middle of the road, it means, he has either to go back, or to run to cross. Likewise, the house keeper will stand on the pavement on the road side and tell the child, “cross, I am seeing there”. Now this child, the vehicle gets them in the middle of the road or the motorcycle. This would be the end of the child. So this children are really at a danger

So I witnessed one, a speeding private car with the lady in. hmm when they moved like this, you know their what, their focus was crossing to the other side and thinking that the vehicle is still what, far.

We see them running after the other, crossing to the other side, but if your child, you emphasize and you always be on it as a point, that “You’re not supposed…, playing stops at home here, in this compound. The moment you reach the road, respect the road.”  You find that the girl just looks at the TV. You see…, these urban areas, you find changes. People are developing from day to day. You find they’re just looking at the TV on the roadside, in one of the shops…. After looking at the TV, their understanding is already drawn off – that now, we’re supposed to think of the roads. They’re just saying “Come and we go come and we go.” After seeing the film or what…, they just start moving, running, because time has caught them. Playing illegally. That right of playing!

If the child has not been empowered  to know  don’t play on the road side, don’t do this. No one is there to mentor them through that journey.

To tell you that the statistics that we have from police show us that pedestrians are more at risk and the young children, the younger generations are more at risk, for road crashes. But practically, realistically, children who walk to and from school are at risk because they use the road. Some of these schools are at on along the highways, they have to cross the road everyday and being children, their their their ability to, their ability to, to, to understand or to, to foresee vehicles that are oncoming like to foresee accidents are low because they are young. So, so they play on the road. They cross recklessly, even when they are told to look right and left, they don't. So for us, they are more at risk because they don't, am looking for the right word. They don't conceptualize the whole safety issue, just like adults would, because they are still young. So that's why we say, they are at risk and we need to be protected even more than the adults sometimes.

Even if knocks the child just slightly, it may cause him/her to die. That is an accident that happens because you don’t have proper control.

There are some people that are bright at their age when you don’t except them to do the things that they do. There is a child that is ware that when a car knocks you down, you die. Then there maybe another one that doesn’t know that when a car knocks you down you can die. When they see it lightly. So, those are the children that we have said play but they don’t know about the repercussions. It may lead them to die. On such grounds.

If I'm to be realistic again. School zones should have speed calming measures. Speed calming measures could be gently, um, gentle, gentle humps. And we don't advise humps on the highway so much for road safety. But we can put pedestrian crossings. Those are a must near the school zones, in my opinion. If funds allow us, ideally again, we should have lights, traffic, intelligence traffic lights. Which children could push a button and the cars will stop, and then they will cross. If we had that, for me that will be the best. Because the tru…, these intelligent lights just push a button, children cross. So the adult will just do that, and they will cross.

And when the child realizes that he or she is late, and the vehicles are just moving - this one comes from this side, this one also comes from the other side, the child is also fearing that at school, when he reaches late, they’ll beat me – he or she closes the eyes and crosses the road because of over speeding.

The establishment of the roads    and how much considerations given to the children, that will be crossing these is not as well it should be. In most cases they are no facilities for children to cross crossing. In most cases, areas where schools are located in infrastructural development, they are still allowed allows for speeding vehicle. So you have hmm which road, Sir Apollo Kaggwa road for example the one on Bombo road is technically that’s  the road where vehicles  can speed over 60km/hr. That should not happen where there is school facility for example, because again, am sure you know the statistics if you hit the child at the the speed high than 30 its speed higher than 30,,chances are much like that  it’s difficult to break if a crush happens, chances are much higher  that the child is going to lose  their life. So we definitely have failed in number of areas when it comes to doing child pedestrian considerate in terms of  infrastructure development.

Well, some people do, but mostly, largely, drivers do not consider others. We expect that the other road users will know that the car is coming and should respect us rather than me the driver saying, “let me be careful and protect someone”. I expect them to see me and wait for me to pass. So that kind of attitude of the driver puts the children at risk because then they will speed. They will not consider this the school zones and even follow the, the guidelines given on the road, like road signs to show that students are crossing so that you reduce your speed or drive safely. Some drivers do not even want to stop at school, school crossing areas. So definitely our attitude as drivers and road users, motorcyclists.

And at a given time, once you accumulate a given number of points and the regulations are being developed now, then we can withdraw your driving permit. So we hope, that once a driver makes three mistakes., and every time you see your points reducing, on your permit. You're getting a warning. You, we are, we are withdrawing your permit.

Once you kill, then the punishment is no longer a fine or an option of anything to be settled there. No. We are now saying you need to be imprisoned. You need to go to court in other words. If you're found out that, you know, you caused the crash due to reckless driving, then the punishment is imprisonment and not, not a fine. So we believe once we implement the new act, the children will be treated the same as children. Causing a crash, the punishments are there in the law.

We have, Children actually, they are of high risk. I also witnessed at Naguru.  When children from Naguru Infant were crossing the road, the red flag was raised properly other vehicles stopped, the children were passing and you know as they pass, for them they take their time, they wait, an adult will hurry to cross the road. Coz they know some of these motorists they are mad. But for them they take their time. Then one came from, even other vehicles had when other vehicles had stopped, one came from behind and did not mind that children were really crossing, and just run into them. Two died, one died on the spot, one died from the near hospital, others were admitted there.

When you come there, for instead of them waiting, they want the pedestrian to wait for them to pass. Actually zebra crossing nowadays has lost meaning   you tend to pass there somebody just come and knock you. So I call them being indiscipline they don’t observe those road signs. So all for the children but children are at risk

We should always try and stop whenever we see children, but it does rarely happens. hmm and again respect for some of hmm road user, forgetting what they are called, zebra crossings, for example where you have literally a driver speeding through zebra crossing and not stopping to allow children to cross. And yet there is someone who is taking the responsibility to intentionally stop the vehicles on such such areas. So yes, there is also the issue of road users.

So, yes. So, we know that, Um, if I am to be specific for Uganda. Our driving behavior is not the best. We do not consider other other road users. Well, some people do, but mostly, largely, drivers do not consider others. We expect that the other road users will know that the car is coming and should respect us rather than me the driver saying, “let me be careful and protect someone”. I expect them to see me and wait for me to pass. So that kind of attitude of the driver puts the children at risk because then they will speed. They will not consider this the school zones and even follow the, the guidelines given on the road, like road signs to show that students are crossing so that you reduce your speed or drive safely. Some drivers do not even want to stop at school, school crossing areas. So definitely our attitude as drivers and road users, motorcyclists. I mean, drivers of cars, buses every, every kind of transportation means.

 It is actually true that our roads also, our infrastructure itself does not, does not so much protect the road users, especially pedestrians and the school going children are pedestrians. So if you consider, for example, the school zones, would expect maybe some speed calming measures or some road signs that are strict or find a way, put pedestrian crossings and find a way to ensure that the road itself protects the children, maybe put those traffic signs that help the children to cross and we'll stop cars. We don't have that in our country. So our roads keep the same. If the school is on the highway, the highway will stay the same and it shouldn't look the same. Our roads should be able to help us, to save us from, to protect us from possible crashes. But in our current form, unfortunately, they are not. Even the few pedestrian crossings or pedestrian walkways that we have, you know, are within the city and few schools that within here here in the CBD. Outside, we don't have pedestrian walkways. The, the, the children will have to walk or other pedestrians will have to walk together with the other road, the other road users including boda-bodas and bicycles and and cars. So our infrastructure is not yet there.

Then eventually I hit a pothole at once then I may want to turn away from it such that my car tyre doesn’t hit that pothole. In the process of turning these cars only that our cars like these taxis they are old, so the older they become the harder they are to control. Or the steering becomes a bit hard, but those cars which are small their steering are too soft that just mere doing like this for it turns instantly and the car is able to leave the road quickly. So, me the taxi driver can fail to bring it back, I may try to turn while facing the pavement or among the children or adults to bring it back by the time I bring it back I will have knocked the people down or the building or anything.

The first reason is that, do you see those new vehicles the more you over speed that is when it directs you on what to do, you understand it, I found out that there is a certain vehicle I know and the drivers I know, that when he comes with an intention of overtaking I just slow down and he overtakes, so that means in some instances it is the vehicle which instructs them the direction to where they are heading to, whereby he can’t understand, as a person he can’t control it and he thinks it’s the one to give him instructions, you get it?

And children come as early as five. By 6:30 – 7, actually 6:30, they have already walked through that stretch and they’re in Nakasero Primary School.

Because, because they are rushing to w…, to school, they go very early in the morning and sometimes leave late. So early in the morning, visibility may be less on the road. So hence, exposing them to risk. But also they spend longer time on the road, walking, crossing, going to school and all, so the longer you're exposed, we know is, the greater the risk that you have for, for these road crashes.

 first of all you see those children are short so sometimes the driver may not even see them. They can come and cross the road when the driver has not seen them because they are so short. So it may lead them to be knocked down because of that.

Maybe I would think a person would have driven when they can see from a far distance. Even when they have parked they should look on both sides because even when a child is short you are able to see him through the rear windows because they reach the tyres.

some may walk very early in the morning well as others leave late say at 6:00pm and they have to walk back home like if one has to walk back to Kanyanya that means he will get home at about 8:00pm. Therefore the timing too puts these child pedestrians at a risk.

about the time still; lessons in Kitante primary school begin at 7: 30am so children have to get to school before that meaning they start moving as early as possible one can say we woke up early and by at 3:00am we were done with bathing and at 4:00pm we started the journey. Some of them move with no parents at that time heading to school. Someone is coming from Entebbe so they have to come early and in the evening they must keep time too because it is the school schedule.

If you don’t have that much experience and control that car this steering in your hands is going to shake and you will see that the car is going the other side yet you are fighting to see that it goes to the other side, you get me?

It is really very paramount that those ones who accompany children must ensure you make the children cross. You the adult and then you come back. Than just being side and said, then you tell them to go. And also there are some scenarios and this happens more so to ladies, when they are moving with the children, you see moving with the children this side which is safer. I don’t know whether you people have observed it. You find a mama is moving with a child in a very dangerous spot. Assume this is the road, I assume the child or the children are supposed to be held this side, supposed to be held this side am sorry, this side okay. And you find the child is this way where by the mother or the adult is safer than the child.

You find that…, because what we know according to traffic, they say they keep left, they keep left. But when it comes to walking, then we don’t go by that. Then we have to keep right because you need to see what’s coming from ahead, isn’t it? From in front. So, you can’t move like the vehicle that you’re keeping left. You’ll move all the time turning, looking behind. So, even that issue also. So, from home, even if the school is there, cross to the opposite side. So that you move while seeing what is coming in front of you. Then reaching the destination, cross to the right side and go.

School going children or, um, enforcing a specific, uh, speed limit. Like we are proposing internationally, 35 kilometers per hour. We don't have it. So our lack of laws targeting pedestrian specifically, uh, put us at a risk. We have general laws of, you should drive like this, drive like, that drive like that. We have a law that you should stop at a pedestrian. We have it. But what about where it's no pedestrian crossing, but it's a school zone. Our our our laws just say, “built up areas, 50 kilometres per hour. None built up areas, 80 kilometres.” You could go to a hundred. But what about special vulnerable group areas like hospitals, like children, like school zones. We don't have specific laws. Do you know of any? We don't have, we don't have them yet
